Great for Business Owners

Peter is a master of his craft! His legal expertise made the process of selling my business a smooth and comforting one. His knowledge and ways of communicating the work he does to protect my interest in the transaction was superb. He put my best interest at the forefront of his work, and was speedy ...with followup for all different matters, thorough with his contract preparation and development, and provided excellent communication with the other party throughout the transaction. I highly recommend Peter, and will definitely use him with my future business needs. Sincerely, Joseph Ignatius Reitinger JIR Inc.

Large Firm Expertise and Prowess With Boutique Service

Peter is without a doubt the most talented and capable attorney I have ever worked with on business and entrepreneurial business matters. He provides the knowledge, skill and expertise that you'd find at the top level of a large firm, but with the personal, responsive, affordable and attentive servi...ce more common for a smaller, boutique or single attorney firm. Peter always puts the needs and best interest of his clients first, seeking reasonable and real-world resolutions to issues, even if it may result in less billable fees. I've always felt extremely protected and confident in his work, due to this personal yet very thorough approach. He's my attorney for the long-haul.
